### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Nefarious Engagement
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 15, 2023*

My favorite book in the series so far. The drama surrounding how Bea discovered the truth about how her parents died was really well written. There were a few interesting twists leading to Brea discovering the truth about how they died. This is a really well done mystery.

    Miss Beatrice: meet your parents Richard and Clara Hyde-Clare
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 13, 2020*

Bea's parents died when she was five, leaving her an unwanted poor relation in her Uncle Horace and Aunt Vera's house. For twenty years all she knew was that they died in a boating accident. So it's a shock when her mentor Lady Abercrombie wants Bea to investigate her parents' deaths - they were undercover spies sent by PM Pitt to infiltrate a workers guild suspected of treason.This upends Bea's whole world. She's recently proposed to the Duke of Kesgrave - and to the shock of the ton, he accepted. She's encountered two dead bodies and solved both murders. She's been whacked with a board and locked up in a shed. She's gone undercover in men's dress and ended up with two black eyes.But to hear that her parents might have been murdered? Bea is determined to find out the truth about their deaths. It’s wildly improper for a future duchess to investigate a possible double murder. But she must, absolutely must, find out the truth....even if it might estrange her from Kesgrave and dissolve their engagement.Lady A gives Bea a packet of her mother’s letters. In them she find one clue, with more tantalizing questions. That clue leads her to a person, and then to others. And it raises painful questions about exactly what her aunt and uncle have been keeping from her, for all these years.Bea is both shocked and pleased to discover her mother wrote an unpublished treatise expanding on Mary Wollstonecraft’s ground-breaking “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (1792). [Wollstonecraft’s book was extremely controversial and even a century later, many men refused to let their womenfolk read it.]Did Guild members discover her parents were spies, and kill them? Did Richard snap after discovering Clara had cuckolded him and was enceinte with another man’s child?And what happened to that gold heirloom bracelet her mother was so proud of?Despite the stultifying atmosphere in her family’s home, as Bea has been solving these mysteries, she’s been given glimpses that her aunt and uncle do care for her. It isn’t until she discovers both the lies and the truth behind her parents’ relationship, that she realizes how it must have affected Uncle Horace and Aunt Vera – and as a result, their treatment of Bea.I can understand the reviewers who were disappointed that Duke Kesgrave doesn’t play a bigger part in this story. Nonetheless, I found this a better mystery and more complex plot than the first three books. The red herrings were clever and unusual.Although the villain is easy to ID by the time the final chapter starts, the denouement is sufficiently dramatic – and public! – to ensure Beatrice Hyde-Clare, soon to be Duchess of Kesgrave, will never be called “drab” ever again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A fun read
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2022*

This book is well written, the plot is good and the humour is a very much appreciated addition.  The only reason it is not a five star rating is that it is rather over wordy, which had me skipping a few pages at a time.  However I do enjoy Lynn Messina's  books and hope that she will get to the point where she does not need so much filler.
